that's precisely my point. Even if most of the $2/W cost of commercial PV isn't the cell cost, the cells still cost around US$ 0.4 - 0.6 each and this is for mass produced cells.
Is it fair to claim that a speciality cell such as those on this car can be had for even cheaper? Unlikely.
- ben_w 6y agoI’m not sure what you’re arguing against given I claimed $.30/W and the document you linked me to also claims $.30/W cells.
- eldaisfish 6y agoFor posterity, NREL's number is $ 0.47 / W for utility scale solar. It's not $ 0.30 /W and there's no way a speciality cell is cheaper than utility scale cells.
